WHAT PUZZLES THE DOCIOBS. A Man with hl? Heart on his Bight Side. The Faculty of the Homeopathic Med? ical College in this city is very much in? terested in a very singular case which has latelv come under their care for treat? ment. The immediate object of their endeavors is to restors to its natural place in the left side the heart of Lathrop G. Warford, which for two years has been doing inadequate duty in his right side. Although they deemed it scarcely worth while to attempt to correct this freak of disease when their skill was first invoked, the vital organs of the patient were found to be so sturdily constituted that great re? lief has already been experienced by the sufferer, and strong hopes are entertained o.: his permanent cure ultimately. The history of the case is as follows: la the winter of 1877, Warford, then a cashier in French's Hotel, contracted a sc vere cold which never, to his knowl? edge, took the shape of active pleurisy, although its consequences indicate that pleuritic inflammation must have existed. He was an active and strong fellow of 28, and this seizure was his first attack of acute disease. Despite remedies the cold progressed, and his first medical adviser was of the opinion that he was going into rapid decline, and that his life was worth at most only a few months' purchase. The treatment prescribed looked only toward mitigating his sufferings. Late in the spring of '77 he had become so weak that he was forced to give business, and he went back to Troy, his native place, to spend his few remaining days. Dr. Waldo of West Troy, who became his medical attendant, was much puzzled to account for the absence of many of the symptoms that invariably accompany consumption. He sounded his patient's chest, and found that the left lung was completely atrophied and was doing no duty whatever. Pursuing his investigations he was dumb-founded to find the young man's heart beating in his right side. Warford himself was unconscious of the shifting of the organ. He had never, during his life suffered any discomfort from it, but always theretofore, when he had occasion to notice it, he had always found it on the left side where other folks hearts hang. No such change cf position had been reported in the medical experiences of physicians, and Dr. Waldo was greatly puzzled to account for it. Dropsy of the chest was suspected, but there again the physician was put in doubt by the ab? sence of many characteristic symptoms. The patient was able to lie in any posi? tion, whereas, in other dropsical cases, only particular positions are found toler ble by the afflicted. The disease also manifested itself in bloated sac under the eyes,, in swelling of the extremities and >in a peculiar opaque pallor, and all these symptoms were absent in Warford's case. Dr. McLean of West Troy, one of the most eminent practitioners in Central New York, was called in consultation. Warford bad then become so enfeebled that the physicians thought his tenure of life worth the risk of an operation to disclose the source of disease. They, with one consent, agreed that the chances were largely in favor of his dying under the knife. Very unexpectedly his strength recovered somewhat within the next lew n days, and they decided to risk the opera? tion. By this time the doctors had reached the conclusion that he was suf? fering from Pyo-hydrothorax, or purulent dropsy of the thorax. A large sac of pus and serous fluid had completely usurped the place of the vital organs in the left side, squeezing the left lung until it col? lapsed and withered, and driving the heart to its new home on the right side. They had also been able to locate the immediate seat of the disease. Just two years ago Drs. McLean and Waldo per? formed the first operation. Warford was so feeble at the time that they were afraid to administer anaesthetics, so after forti? fying him with sundry doses of brandy, they began to cut The primary incision was made be? tween the fifth and sixth ribs, about eight inches from the spine, on the left side. A rubber tube, ending in an ex? haustible receiver, was inserted, and through this nearly eight pints of puru? lent serous matter were discharged. The patient was almost instantly relieved of . the oppressed, labored respiration, and within twentv-four hours was up and around the Bouse, weak, bat hopeful. He gathered strength rapidly, and the physicians came to the conclusion that, despite the double labor thrown npon his right lung, be was free from active dis? ease in those organs. The heart, how? ever, showed no disposition to return to its natural place. Within a few weeks**Warford grew worse again, and it became apparent that there was another effusion of dropsical matter npon the thorax. They suffered it to proceed until his respiration became seriously interfered with again when they renewed the tapping process. In the six weeks since the first tapping nearly seven pints of the purulent fluid had collected and were ejected. From that second tapping until now Warford's general health nas been improving. His system has responded with increasing activity to the remedies used, and the necessity for tapping has decreased in frequency. He has undergone six tappings, all told, the last of which was done in March. Al? together, thirty-nine pints of the drop? sical fluid have been drawn from him. The improvement may be seen in the circumstance that only four and a half pints were drawn off by the two last op? erations, although they were made three months apart. The patient has returned to this city and is about engaging again in active business. Drs. Dowling and HelmuTh, who have assumed charge of his case, say that they discover indications of air forcing itself into the atrophied lung again, and are hopeful that it may be encouraged to resume duty. If it does so, the neart may be induced to swing back to its natural place. They are about persuaded of the propriety of in tioducing some inflammatory agent into the seat of the disease at the next tapp? ing, hoping that, by bringing about active inflammation, they will be able to perm? anently cure the diseased part. This done, they prolesa to see no reason why Warford may not again be a sound man, with two lungs doing active duty, and a heart in its right place. The only simi? lar case in the medical records is that of a contortionist reported in the Ecglish medical journals a few months since. The change in the position of his heart l< the right side was too great in big case, however, and he died. What an Old Man has Noticed.? I have noticed that all men are honest when well watched.

The murder of Mrs. Hull, a well-to-do woman and a member of Sorosis, a stone's throw from Fifth avenue, New York, re? main's the current metropolitan mystery, partly because Mrs. Hull was a very well known woman, and partly because the murder was an extraordinary one to whose perpetrator no cluo'has been dis? covered. The general opinion, both of the police and the papers, is that the murder was not the work of professional criminals, but was done by some one living in her house. Mrs. Hull was found on her bed, tied and strangled ; the knotd were in one case such as only as a surgon Would be likely to make, and the examination of her eyes by a lighted candle, to find if she were still living, was a test also needing medical knowl? edge. The pieces of her own clothing selec? ted to bind her were apparently chosen by some one familiar with her wardrobe, and the act was done by those minutely acquainted with her room. Her husband, a doctor, is under close surveillance, but many circumstances render it difficult to believe that he can be the criminal. WHO MUS. HULL 13. Mrs. Hull, at the time of her death, was 58 years of age. She was married at 16, aud two years later went to London with her husband, where they lived a number of years. She was described at that time as a most beautiful woman. Upon her return to this country she grew very fleshy and lost much of her beauty. She weighed nearly three hundred pounds. She was a descendant of the old and well-known DeForrest family. So proud was she of her ancestry that in making her signature she invariably pre? fixed her full maiden name of Jane L. De Forrest to the name of Hull. Among the articles which the robbers secured were the contents of two purses, a valuable gold watch and chain, the ana various other rings. Among these were a solitaire diamond, a cluster dia? mond, an emerald set with diamonds, and a very valuable cameo ring with a mosaic setting. A pair of diamond soli? taire ear-rings is also missing, as well as a pair of valuable cameo ear-rings and a diamond cross. In all not less than $1,500 or $2,000 worth of jewelry was taken. THE STRANGENESS OF THE M?KDEB. Mrs. Hull when found wns tied to the bed. There were undoubtedly two or three persons connected with the tragedy. One theory is that they entered the room for the. purpose of robbery, that the lady made a strong resistance and they took violent means to keep her quiet. A piece of the bed sheet was tied to one ankle and then passed under the bed and tied to the other ankle. Her feet were thus held at opposite sides of the bed. Her elbows were pinioned and her hands tied. There was a bandage around her eyes, and some heavy cloth had been twisted around her neck and wonnd around her mouth. Mrs. Hull was evidently smoth? ered and a pillow was used for this pur? pose. One or two men held it tightly over her face and mouth until she was quiet. Frightened at the thought that they might have killed her, they held a candle to her eyes, and so closely that the eyebrows were singed. That a cau? dle was used is shown by aspot of tallow, the lady was dead, and the robbers, leav? ing much of their booty behind them, fled. At least this is the theory of some of the detectives. Mrs. Hull for years had been sleeping on the first floor, in rear of the parlor. Her husband occu? pied a room in the fourth story. The couple, to all appearances, were conten? ted and lived happily. The house is a handsome one, m the middle of the block between Sixth avenue and Broad? way on West Forty-second street. Sev? eral people occupied furnished rooms in the house. which were torn from her fii "WHO DID IT ? The question which is now puzzling the police is, Who did it ? Some contend that at least three persona were engaged in the murder, as it could not have taken less than that number to overpower Mrs. Hull and bind her in the way in which she was bound. Everything about the house was secure and there was no possi? ble way of gaining an entrance except through the front door. There were no signs of a violent entry. It is known that Mrs. Hull has changed servants somewhat frequently, and that some of those which she has had?all being color? ed?have had a good many callers, and on this account it has been suspected that some of these callers may have planned and executed the robbery. At all events there seems to be but two reasonable the? ories. One is that some persons in the house did the deed, and the other that some one opened the door and let the murderers in. A few days ago Mrs. Hull's pet dog died. It was a vicious little thing and a perfect watch dog. It is now thought that the dog was poisoned. The high police officials seem to have settled down to a positive opinion as to how the murder was committed. They also think that they can point out one at least of the murderers. It is certain that they no longer consider the case a mystery im? possible of solution. They have, on the contrary, made up their minds that the murder was committed by one or more persons in the house, and that the ab? straction of the jewels was not a robbery in fact, but was simply intended to make it appear that the crime was the work of professional thieves. Superintendent Walling and his assistants are now work? ing in accordance with this view of the case, and are hopeful of proving the cor? rectness of it before very long. It is un? derstood that the discovery of the burn? ing of the dead woman's eyebrows was one of the first incidents which set the minds of the detectives working in this direction. They argued that the experi? ment of holding a lighted candle close to the eyes of a person supposed to be dead is scarcely one which would suggest itself to tho mind^of an ordinary thief or an unprofessional person, and in following up the train of thought suggested by this idea, it is said that they discovered sev? eral pieces of strong circumstantial evi? dence which confirmed their theory. Su? perintendent Walling expects to find the jewels in the house, and is making a thorough search. The house is being very strictly guarded, and Dr. Hull is never for a moment allowed out of sight. A Thought on Future Retribution. Whatever Henry Ward Beecher or any one else may think, or theorize, concerning the doctrine of future retribution, certain it is that nature is an uncompromising believer in its certainty and justice. Do yourself the willful injury of violating the conditions of health, her retribution is sure and often apparently far exceed? ing in proportion the sin. Late hours, irregular meals, overeating, excesses of all kinds, are followed by "liver com? plaint," dyspepsia, and sympathetic dis? orders of the brain. In women the same excesses, augmented by the wearing of tight or insufficient clothing, the sus? pension of heavy skirts from the hips, etc., invariably produce those weaknesses, and diseases peculiar to the sex. Re? peated attacks of cold, due to exposure, inevitably produce catarrh, and in some cases consumption. The liberal party have one argument in their favor in the fact that Dr. Pierce's Family Medicines are sure and efficient remedies for these retributive diseases. The Golden Medi? cal Discovery and Pleasant Purgative Pellets, for the diseases of the stomach and liver, are unexcelled,, while the Fa? vorite Prescription enjoys the highest reputation of all remedies for female dis? eases and weaknesses. Never promise more than can be done. Dr. Bull's Baltimore Fills have been successfully run on this principle. For 6ale by all druggists. Price 25 cts. GEORGE ELIOT OX THE JEWS. Their Characteristics und Their Destiny Some Interesting Extracts from the Great Novelist'!. New Book. George Eliot's new book, "Impressions of ThcophrastusSuch," contains a strong paper called "The Modern Hep! Hep! Hep!" which is a vigorous plea for the modern Jew. It says: The eminence, the nobleness, of a peo? ple, depends on its capability of being stirred by memories and of striving for what we call spiritual ends?ends which consist not in immediate material pos? session, but in the satisfaction of a great feeling that animates the collective body with j one soul. A people having the seed of worthiness in it must feel an an? swering thrill when it is adjured by the deaths of its heroes who died to preserve its national existence; when it is remin? ded of its Bmall beginnings and gradual growth throutrh past labors and strug? gles, such as are still demanded of it in or? der that the freedom and well-being thus inherited may be transmitted unimpaired to children and children's children, when an appeal against the permission of in? justice is made to great precedents in its history and to the breathing in its insti? tutions. It is this living force of senti? ment in common which makes a nation? al consciousness. Nations so moved will resist conquests with the very breasts of their women, will pay their millions and their blood to abolish slavery, will share privations in famine and all calamity, will produce poets to sing "some great story of a man," and thinkers whose theories will bear the test of action. An individual man, to be harmoniously great, must belong to a nation of this order, if not in actual existence, yet ex? isting in the past, in memory, as a depar? ted, invisible, beloved ideal, once a real? ity and perhaps to be restored. A com? mon humanity is not yet enough to feed the rich blood of various activity which make a complete mau. As to the future of the Jews as a na? tion, George Eliot holds certain positive views which are worthy of being set forth fully and in . which there is much food for * meditation : And this is the usual level or thinking in polite society concerning the Jews. Apart from theological purposes, it seems to be held surprising that anybody should take an interest in the history of a people whose literature has furnished all our devotional language; and if any reference is made to their past or future destinies some hearer is sure to state as a relevant fact which may assist our judgment that she, for her part, is not fond of them, having known a Mr. Jacob son who was very unpleasant; or that he, for his part, thinks meanly of them as a race, though on inquiry you find that he is so little acquainted with their characteristics that he is astonished to learn how many persons whom he has blindly admired and applauded are Jews to the backbone. Again, men who con? sider themselves in the very van of modern advancement, knowing history and the latest philosophies of history, indicate their contemptuous surprise that any one should entertain the' destiny of the Jews as a worthy subject, by referring to Moloch and their own agreement with the theory that the religion of Jehovah was merely a transformed Moloch wor? ship, while in the same breath tbey are glorifying "civilization" as a transformed tribal existence of which some linea? ments are traceable in grim marriage customs of the native Australians. Are these erudite persons prepared to insist the name "Father" should no longer have any sanctity for us, because in their view of likelihood our Aryan ancestors were mere improvers on a state of things iu which nobody knew his own father? For less theoretic men, ambitious to be regarded as practical politicians, the value of the Hebrew race has been meas? ured by their unfavorable opinion of a Srime minister who is a Jew by lineage, ut it is so possible to form a very ugly opinion as to the scrupulousness of Wal fole or of Chatham, and in every case think Englishmen would refuse to ac? cept the character and doings of those eighteen-century statesmen as the stan? dard value for the English people and the part they havs to play in the for? tunes of mankind. If we are to consider the future of the Jervs at all, it seems reasonable to take as a preliminary question: Are they destined to complete fusion with the [>eoples among whom they are dispersed, osiug every remnant of a distinctive con? sciousness as Jews, or are there in the breadth and intensity with which the feeling of separatedness. or what we may call the organized memory of a national consciousness, actually exists in the world-wide Jewish communities?the seven millions scattered from east to west?and again, are there in the politi? cal relations of the world, the conditions present or approaching for the restora? tion of a Jewish State planted on the old ground as a centre of national feeling, a source of dignifying protection, a special channel for special energies which may contribute some added form of national genius and an added voice in the council of the world. They are among us everywhere; it is useless to say we are not fond of them. Perhaps we are not fond of proletaries and their tendency to form unions, but the world is not therefore to be rid of them. If we wish to free ourselves from the incouveniences that we have to com Jlain of, whether in proletaries or in ews, our best course is to encourage all means of improving these neighbors who elbow us in a thickening crowd; and of sending their incommodious energies into beneficent channels. Why -are we so eager for the dignity of populations of whom perhaps we have never seen a single specimen, and of whose history legend or literature we have been con? tentedly ignorant for ages, while we sneer at the notion of a renovated na? tional dignity for the Jews, whose ways of thinking and whose very verbal forms are on our lips in every prayer which we end with an Amen? Some of us consider this question dismissed when tbey have said that the wealthiest Jews have no de? sire to forsake their European palaces and go to live in Jerusalem. But in a return from exile, in the restoration of a people, the question is not whether cer? tain rich meu will choose to remain be? hind, but whether there will be found worthy men who will choose to lead the return. Plenty of prosperous Jews re? mained in Babylon when Ezra mar? shalled his band of forty thousand and began a now glorious epoch in the histo? ry of his race, making the preparation for that epoch in the history of the world which has been held glorious enough to be dated from forevermore. The hinge of possibility is simply the existence of an adequate community pf feeling as well as widespread need in the Jewish race, and the hope that among its f jer specimens there may arise some men of instruction and ardent public spirit, some uew Ezras, some modern Macca? bees, who will know how to use all fa? voring outward conditions, how to tri? umph by heroic examples over the indif? ference of their fellows and the scorn of their foes, and will steadfastly set their faces towards making their people once more one among the nations. Formerly evangelical orthodoxy was prone to dwell on the fulfillment of Srophecy in the "restoration of the ews." Such interpretation of the prophets is less in vogue now. The dominant mode is to insist on a Chris? tianity that disavows its origin, that is j not a substantial growth having a genea? logy, but is a vaporous reflex of modern notions. The Christ of Matthew had the heart of a Jew: "Go ye to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." The Apos? tle of the Gentiles had the heart of a Jew: "For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my breth? ren, my kinsmen according to the flesh, who are Israelites, to whom pertaiueth the adoption and the glory, and tho cov? enants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises, whose are the fathers and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came." Modern apo3tles extolling Christianity are found using a different tone; they prefer the medireval cry translated into modern phrase. But the mediaeval cry, too, was in substance very ancient?more ancient than the days of Augustus. Pa? gans in successive ages said: "These people are unlike us and refuse to be made alike us; let us punish them." The Jews were steadfast in their separateness, and through that separateness Christiani? ty was born. A modern book on Liberty has maintained that from the freedom of individual men to persist in idiosyn? crasies the world may he enriched. Why should we not apply this argument to the idiosyncrasy of a nation and pause in our haste to hoot it down ? There is still a great function for the steadfastness of the Jew; not that he should shut out the utmost illumination which knowl? edge can throw on his national history, but that he should cherish the store of inheritance which that history has left him. Every Jew should becouscious that he is one of a multitude possessing com? mon objects of piety in the'immortal achievements and immortal sorrows of ancestors who have transmitted to them a physical and mental type strong enough in faculties, pregnant enough with peculiar promises, to constitute a new beneficient individuality among the nations, and by confuting traditions of scorn nobly avenge the wrong3 done to their fathers. There is a sense in which a worthy child of a nation that has brought forth illustrious prophets, high and unique among the poets of the world, is bound by their visions. Is bound? Yes; for the effective bond of human action is feeling, and the worthy child of a people owning the triple name of Hebrew, Israelite and Jew feels his kin i ship with the glories and sorrows, the degradation and the possible renovation of his national family. Will any one teach the nullification of this feeling and call his doctrine a phil? osophy? He will teach a blinding super? stition?the superstition that a theory of human well-being can be constructed in disregard of the influences which have made us human.

Language Is as in? sufficient to describe the relief I obulned from the use of the Stillingia as it is to convey an ad?quate idea of the Intensity of my sulTcrlng before using your medicine; sufficient to say, I abandoned all other remedies and continued the use of your Ex? tract of Stillingia, until I can sav truly.

More than eight mouths have elapsed since this re? markable cure, without any return of the disease. For tho truth of the above slat.men'.

Many pieces of bone came out of the right foot and leg. The case was then pronounced one of While Swelling.
